Tender Hug

A its name suggests, a tender hug is a unique and remarkably soothing hug. It is not a regular "hi hello, you're looking a little mellow, how about some jello" hug. It is a sweet, and affectionate hug you give someone special when you sense they are in need of an embrace or simply at any time you your heart desire. To tender hug firstly you look deeply into the eyes of the person you wish to hug and make a connection. Then you gently wrap your right arm then left around them where you both feel comfortable and just send vibes of love, comfort and care. Smiling is highly recommended. Just let them know you care, you are there and jello doesn't even come into the picture :)
